A native of Cortland, N.Y., Angelo Condie was a standout basketball player at Cortland High who became the first SUNY Cortland basketball player to score more than 1,000 career points and the first to score 40 points in a game.
Condie played on the Red Dragon's 1959 and 1961 SUNYAC championship teams. He was named to the All-SUNYAC Tournament teams in 1960 and 1961 and was voted the Tournament MVP as a senior.
His 1,093 career points places ninth on Cortland’s all-time scoring list. He scored 432 points as a senior which is still among the top single season efforts at the College.
He earned a B.S.E. in 1961 and an M.S.E. in 1965 from SUNY Cortland. Between 1964-93, he served as an elementary school principal for the Department of Defense Schools in Germany, Japan and Okinawa. Condie was a member of the National Elementary School Principals Association and of Phi Delta Kappa. He was active with scouts and with church groups.
Condie died at age 54 on March 6, 1994 after a long bout with cancer.
“He was the kind of young man you would like to have as your son,” said longtime SUNY Cortland Head Basketball Coach Whitney T. “Pete” Corey ’43. “If I were to select an all-star team from the many players who played for me, he would be among the first five.”
Condie is survived by his wife, Leigh.
